Luke Littler booed in Rotterdam

Littler responded to the boos with a defiant gesture and a Cristiano Ronaldo-style celebration, but ultimately lost the final 6-4.

Clayton's victory extends his lead at the top of the Premier League table as the competition enters its final stages.

The incident has highlighted the intense tribalism of the Dutch darts audience and the growing pressure on the 19-year-old sensation.

Despite the loss, Littler remains a primary contender for the title in his debut season.
